Roberto Donadoni, former national team coach who played for the "Invincibles" Milan and is now awaiting a coaching opportunity, will watch Italy vs France tonight. He was interviewed by Libero, discussing various topics, including the league:
Italy vs. France. Kicking off tonight at San Siro. How do you feel, Roberto? "A bit sad, but not because of the match. San Siro is a stadium where I lived for many years, both on the field and in the locker room. It makes me sad to think it will be demolished."
As national team coach, you were eliminated in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals of Euro 2008. Do you remember who scored the decisive penalty? "I don't remember."
Fàbregas... "Ah, I had forgotten him. He was as influential then as he is now coaching Como."
Judging by their performance in the Champions League, Como is now a solid team. "That's right. Fàbregas is doing a great job, but don't forget he has the support of a financially strong club. That's crucial in football today."
How could Internazionale lose this title? "They are the strongest team, but they must concede fewer goals. I'll go back to the previous topic: when I saw Esposito playing as a full-back at Como, I understood that this team, despite some stumbles, is still there."
What about that struggling Milan? "One good game, one bad. However, if they can find consistency in their matches, they can regain confidence and qualify for the Champions League."
Is Roma playing the most enjoyable football? "Well, yes. The team has now absorbed Gasperini's demands, and he finally has players suited to his tactical philosophy."
